Scouting report on the #Ajax transfer target! twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
// Information //

➖ Birthday: Feb 27, 2007 (16)
➖ Citizenship: Denmark
➖ Club: Silkeborg IF
➖ Position: Right wing
➖ Strong foot: Left twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
// Status //

He features regularly for Silkeborg U19, and has also continued to be a star for Silkeborg U17 with 1.28 goals per 90 in 2022-23.

As I've previously revealed, he is now close to signing a deal with AFC Ajax. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
// Profile //

Abildgaard is almost exclusively used on the right. He is extremely tough to contain 1 vs. 1, but he's also showing impressive playmaking skills.

He loves cutting in and he will also often drop deep and find pockets in order to carry the ball forward. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
// Dribbling //

It's quite simple. Lasse Abildgaard is extremely gifted when it comes to dribbling.

The ball is glued to his feet, his low center of gravity makes him very hard to disposses and he uses body feints extremely well.

// First touch //

May sound blasphemous, but he has a Messi-like first touch.

He can calm the ball from the toughest passes and excels in tight spaces due to his superior technique.

// Finishing //

Abildgaard is very efficient in front of goal and gets almost 70% of his shots on target in the Danish U17 league.

He is very comfortable with his left, but could benefit greatly from improving his weaker foot.

// Ball-striking ability //

Abildgaard has a powerful shot and also loves a far post curler.

He is very efficient in the penalty area but he's also a big threat from distance.

// Playmaking //

He has improvements to make regarding his passing game, but he's displaying promising signs.

He does particulary well at timing through passes for overlapping full-backs and teammates running in behind.

// Positioning //

He is a winger and will therefore mostly operate from wide positions.

But, he is also capable of dropping deep and finding the right half-spaces to receive the ball and carry it forward.

// Things to improve //

Abildgaard could bring another dimension to his game by improving his weak foot ability.

He still also needs to improve physically, but he is already benefitting from playing regularly vs. U19 defenders in Denmark. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
// Highlights //

Some of the clips are from @Nor_ball's YouTube channel.

Check out his video on Lasse Abildgaard down below. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
// End of Thread //

Alongside Sebastian Biller Mikkelsen, Lasse Abildgaard is the biggest talent from Silkeborg's academy since Kasper Dolberg in my eyes.

A move abroad is getting closer and for good reason. He has so much to offer. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
